30 Ways to Show Appreciation for Your Spouse

Whether you’re in a relationship now or want to be in one remember that love and appreciation goes a long way. No matter how long you have been with your significant other it can be easy to find yourself taking your partner for granted. Politeness and gratitude tend to give way to tiredness, stress, work and screaming kids. The same person you used to thank for all the little things now feels unappreciated for all they do.

If a stranger holds the door open for you, you are quick to thank them for their kindness, but you forget to show gratitude to your significant other’s hard work and loving gestures.

What we sometimes forget is that expressing gratitude is beneficial for both partners. When you show appreciation for your partner, you often receive more in return.

Research shows that, on days when partners felt more gratitude toward each other and felt appreciated by the other; they felt more bonded and were happier the next day.
